you need to get rid of the governer in the prom. the easiest ways are to find some one who will burn you a prom for a couple of bucks w/o the governer or buy the prom burning equipment and do it yourself. The equipment (burner + software + chips) is around 200 dollars but its worth it in the long run. That way you can make future changes to your prom as you mod teh car.

Actually the EASIEST way to get around that would be by disabling the VSS.

just replace the prom. not something you have to worry about though. a tbi 305 sure isn't going to hit 120 without alot of track. the eprom change will pick up some ponies anyway.
